Rend's R-1 Controller and A-10 Cyclone Bundle Review by Triple X Branded
I am left wondering where to begin exactly for this review. The
Rends R-1 Controller and the A-10 Cyclone have so much going for them. So much in fact that it is hard to talk about just one without going off on a tangent over all the other accessories Rends has to offer. I already flew off the handle and babbled on for nearly 30 damn minutes in the video review portion, so in hopes to keep it short, let me just shut up and get on with it!
Sensation & Feeling: 2.5/5
I am giving the A-10 Cyclone a five out of ten. This is based on the Medusa Head M/L attachment that came with the A-10 Cyclone and the overall torque of their toy. At times it felt as if the A-10 Cyclone was just too fast for its own good. Even on the lowest setting I couldn't get that Low and Slow feeling I was looking for. The Medusa Head M/L cup did little to almost nothing for me. After researching the toy a little more on
ToyDemon I noticed that there was a cup attachment that mimicked oral sex. I wish this cup would have came with the toy. For one, this toy should be marketed as an oral sex simulator, because thats about the only way I can describe the sensation. It simply feels like a blow job to me. So why not just bundle the Rolling Fella (The oral sex version of their cup insert line) with the A-10 Cyclone? Anyways. This toy was a bit frustrating to use. I found myself sitting there trying to enjoy it. Messing with the R-1 controller to find the perfect setting. Nothing really felt amazing to me. I seriously just begged for it to be over with, so I could say Yes, I achieved an orgasm with this toy! It is possible!!!
Okay, with all that negative crap being said, there is a saving grace to this toy. It has potential. There is just too many attachments available. Not only for men but for women as well. So I can't just write it off just yet. For all I know, this toy may just be the best damn toy ever. I just have to find the right cup.
Cleaning & Maintenance: 4/5
Probably the easiest toy to clean in my entire arsenal of toys. You simply unscrew a few bits and pull out the cup. Run it under some warm water and allow it to air dry. Walla! However, putting that damn cup back into place is the most frustrating thing in the world for me. There is a retaining clip of sorts that holds the cup in place. This clip has four clips that slip over the edge of the cup and on to the toy. No matter what I do, those damn clips always snag or get hung up on the cup. It drives me nuts!!! You can see more in the video.
Price & Performance: 4/5
Once again I am left with a bit of a dilemma. When you take the Rends R-1 and A-10 Cyclone bundle and compare it to a competitor cyclone masturbator, Rends wins every damn time. Why? Because there is so many possibilities to try with this line. You are not just going to get stuck with a cyclone masturbator with only one cup insert option and be left screaming Why in the $%#@ did I buy this thing!!! Plus, once you have the R-1 controller you can attach it to other toys in the Rends family and not only please yourself but your partner as well. With that said, it's well worth the price, just do yourself a favor and buy some cup inserts like the Rolling Fella. Otherwise you may get frustrated, because in my opinion...the Medusa head M/L cup insert sucks.
Final Thoughts & Score: 4/5
I have said it all. The R-1 and A-1o Cyclone bundle is a sure thing. Why? Because it will get better and better with time. Rends continues to advance and evolve their line. So once you made the purchase you are pretty well set on seeing something new come along to add to the toy. I have a feeling Rends has something in the works that will hopefully hit the States soon. When it does I believe that Rends will be a brand that is talked about as widely as TENGA and Fleshlight.
